Are you passionate about helping aerospace and satellite organizations harness the power of cloud technology and AI to accelerate their missions — from orbit to the edge? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Customer Solutions Manager (CSM) to join our Aerospace & Satellite team. In this role, you will serve as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders at commercial space, satellite, and aerospace companies — shaping strategies that influence customer transformation initiatives and driving significant outcomes across multiple business units and lines of business through modern cloud solutions.
As a CSM in the AWS Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS) Aerospace & Satellite division, you will lead complex customer engagements with significant impact across multiple business outcomes. You will operate independently in dynamic, complex, and undefined situations — using high judgment and technical acumen to navigate incomplete information, make decisions despite uncertainty, and drive successful customer outcomes. You will work backwards from customer goals — whether that's deploying agentic AI workflows to automate satellite anomaly resolution, building generative AI-powered ground system operations assistants, modernizing telemetry and command platforms to fuel AI/ML insights, or accelerating launch readiness with intelligent automation — and own end-to-end execution across AWS teams to deliver results.
We help aerospace and satellite companies understand best practices around adopting cloud-based solutions, migrating existing ground systems and mission-critical workloads, implementing AI/ML capabilities for space data processing, and building organizational cloud and AI fluency. The opportunity to guide space companies through the AI revolution — from foundational data readiness to deploying agentic systems that autonomously execute complex satellite operations workflows — is unprecedented. At AWS we value critical thinking, self-motivation, and the ability to deal with ambiguity. We love people who innovate, use data to make decisions, and can express themselves thoughtfully.
This position requires 25% - 40% travel dependent on geo and time of year.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and obtain and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance.

Accelerate Value & Transformation: Drive significant outcomes that advance customer value and transformation objectives across multiple business units or lines of business — identifying opportunities for large-scale modernization, generative AI, agentic AI, and migrations that advance space missions and operational efficiency
Navigate Ambiguity: Operate independently in dynamic, complex, and undefined situations, using high judgment and emerging technologies to make decisions despite incomplete information and uncertainty — providing clarity and guidance to customers and internal teams
Enable & Govern: Design enablement programs, AI readiness assessments, governance frameworks, and executive briefing sessions that prepare aerospace customers for responsible AI adoption, successful cloud transformation, and long-term operational excellence — including real-time, hands-on customer demos and workshops leveraging emerging technology
Advocate & Advise: Serve as the customer's trusted strategic advisor and their voice within AWS, communicating with senior customer stakeholders from technical leads to business executives — providing actionable customer insights and feedback that inform AWS service improvements, including aerospace-specific service teams
Build, Scale & Mentor: Leverage emerging technologies to proactively build, optimize, and scale mechanisms that eliminate non-differentiated work and enable scalable execution across multiple customer engagements — developing technical best practices and approaches that enhance team capabilities and mentoring within and across teams to elevate performance
A day in the life As a Senior CSM on the AWS Aerospace & Satellite team, you'll serve as the trusted strategic advisor and central connector between space industry customers and AWS teams. Your day might include facilitating strategy sessions with customer leadership to align cloud and AI adoption roadmaps with mission objectives, presenting transformation progress to senior leadership, and driving end-to-end execution of strategic initiatives.
You'll develop enablement plans for generative AI adoption and workload migrations, lead executive briefings and hands-on workshops showcasing aerospace use cases — such as autonomous satellite health monitoring, AI-driven orbital maneuver planning, or intelligent Earth observation pipelines — and manage critical go-live transitions. You'll also mentor team members, build scalable mechanisms across engagements, and navigate ambiguity with high judgment.
